Nice photo. What am I looking at with what appears to be a light brown patch? Is that an "out of focus" piece of vegetation between the bird and camera?
 
superb photo of this beautiful bird, I had the chance to see them in Pinnacles National Park in California. Excellent details, colors and setting, top notch, many tfs!!

What a wonderful start you've made to your Gallery with this lovely Phainopepla (a word I always struggle to pronounce, LOL))

Many thanks for showing him to us - I'll look forward to seeing some more of your images.
